One Odd Duck

When an odd duck, which looks very much like a bunny, pops out of a shell in Mother Duck’s nest, she is astonished but not put off. “Not to worry,” says Mother Duck. “He’ll grown into a fine feathered duck when he grows up!” This is her explanation for all the other oddities she discovers: he can’t swim; he has fur where feathers should be; he likes fruits and vegetables rather than worms; he has whiskers; and he hops instead of walks. When he grows up, he still can’t do any of the things a duck can do. But, he can do one thing very well – dye eggs! Proud of her odd duck of a son, Mother duck realizes that not everyone is like every other one. Their talents might lay hidden inside of their dreams. Yet everyone is worthy of dreams it now seems. Charming, delightful rhyming words tell this tale, accompanied by bouncy, bright and happy images. Over 30 delightful illustrations. If you like the books of Dr. Seuss, Mo Willems, Sandra Boynton, Suzy Spafford, Jane O’Connor, the Berenstains, Felicia Bond, Laura Numeroff, and P.D. Eastman, you will love ONE ODD DUCK.
